    When they offer an all black M9A3, I'm not sure I can resist.

    The M9A3 is a helluva pistol out of the box. I fell in love with the Vertec frame at first. I spent some training time with one last month and it was swell for awhile but the Vertec frame ended up getting on my nerves. A couple of high round count days and I noticed that it was just fatiguing to keep a high, secure grip on it. I put the rubber grip on it and it made a world of difference.

    They alluded to it a few times on their IG page. I am very excited to see what Beretta does once TN is settled in and, unfortunately, now that the MHS fiasco is over.

    Then you sold it. Why?

    My experiences are the same as @GJM. Have 2 M9A3s and both have the wrap around rubber grips installed.

    I tried the Vertec grip on my M9A3 for part of my first range trip. Found I was shooting low regularly. I figure the lack of meat at the bottom of the frame causes the bottom of the grip to move backward bringing the barrel down a bit. Since I never have a problem reaching the DA trigger, apparently I must have long fingers although my hand is not very big. So I put the wrap grip on and haven't looked back. I could shoot a Vertec fine if needed but fortunately no need.

I suspect we'll start seeing these (along with the Langdon 92) when production at the new factory catches up.

    By the way, it isn't the slide that is G convertible. You can find an older Vertec 92FS and convert it to a 92G with the new lever.
    You just can't resist posting a pic with that Watson, can you?

    3. A Vertec frame Centurion. Something similar to a Vertec framed Cent Tac.
    4. A Vertec Compact, again with convertible slide controls.

    Perhaps some of the above variants exist and I am unaware of them? I find Berettas 92 model line hard to follow.

    1) The standard M9A3? Or one in Black?
    2) All 92F/FS and 96F/FS slides made after 1985 (And actually the SB as well if you are willing to fit the levers) will accept our new G kit. http://www.berettausa.com/en-us/beretta-g-lever-kit/
    3) Doable and easy, but for our current backorders preventing us from going down that route at the moment. If you wish to do this in the aftermarket, I can point you to a reputable gunsmith who can and has done this conversion.
    4) See above.

    1-M9A3 in black would change my current plans of pistol and magazine purchasing. The 92G-SD is what I’d really like, but it’s priced out of my budget.

    3+4 - Are there any plans to do this in the future, or just a general commentary?
